INVENTOR.

Patented Aug. 24, 1937 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 3 Claims.

This invention relates to equipment for barber and beauty shops andespecially to a heater for hair and scalp solutions.

The principal object of the invention is to provide a simple device,electrically operated, for retaining a group of bottles or othercontainers for liquids, and for keeping their contents in a warm andusable condition. Some solutions, especially saponified solutions andoils, become still when cold and aside from the difficulty of removingportions thereof from the bottle, the efliciency is greatly reducedsince the oils do not penetrate the scalp and the shampoos fail toproperly dissolve the greases and remove the impurities as readily aswhen warm or hot.

The invention further provides a simple expedient by which the bottlesmay be independently adjusted vertically in their respective receptaclesand held in adjusted positions to vary the degree of temperature of thecontents.

With the foregoing objects as paramount, the invention has particularreference to its salient features of construction and arrangement ofparts which will become manifest as the description proceeds, taken inconnection with the accompanying drawings, wherein:

Figure l is a perspective view of a heating device constructed accordingto the present invention.

Figure 2 is an elevation with portions in section, taken on lines 22 onFigure 4.

Figure 3 is a plan view with the cover and receptacles removed andFigure 4 is a plan view partly in section.

Continuing with a more detailed description of the drawings, l denotes acasing, the walls of which are shaped to form legs 2. A floor isprovided in the casing and is comprised of metal plates 3, interposedbetween which is a sheet of asbestos 4, as shown in Figure 2.

Spaced vertically in two opposite walls of the casing I are rows ofapertures 5 to receive pins or keys 6, for a purpose to be hereinafterdescribed.

Removably disposed within the casing l is a core comprised of a group ofrelatively spaced cylindrical receptacles 1. These receptacles arejoined together and to the cover 8 of the casing I, which latter issecured to the casing by screws 9, which are receivable in ears l0,extending inwardly from the Walls of the casing I at the top thereof.

The receptacles l are joined together by partitions which are comprisedof strips of metal II with an interposing layer of asbestos l2. Thechamber thus defined also has a layer of asbestos I3 at its top, whichis aiiixed to the cover 8 of the casing. Accordingly, the chamber iscompletely bounded by heat insulation except on the walls of thereceptacles l, which are exposed to the heat of the lamp l4 within thechamber.

The lamp I4 is of small voltage and is mounted in a socket l5, affixedto the floor 2 of the casing. A rubber sleeve I6 protrudes through thefloor and a conventional electric cord ll extends to a suitable sourceof current.

Should it be desired to maintain the liquid in a bottle such as shown at18 in Figure 1, at a comparatively high temperature, it is allowed toextend as low as possible in the receptacle. To reduce or vary thetemperature, the bottle is elevated, and the pin 6 inserted throughapertures 5 and similar apertures l9 spaced vertically in the wall ofthe receptacle opposite. Thus the pin affords a stop at any desiredelevation in the receptacle.

In order to provide means for determining whether or not the lamp isburning, a small aperture 20 is provided in the center of the cover 8.

Manifestly, the construction as shown and described is capable of somemodification and such modification as may be construed within the scopeand meaning of the appended claims is also considered to be within thespirit and intent of the invention.

What is claimed is:-

l. A heater for liquid scalp solutions comprising a casing havingvertically spaced apertures in its walls and a series of relativelyspaced, cylindrical receptacles disposed therein having open upper endsand spaced apertures in register with those in said casing, meansinsulating the space between said receptacles against dissipation ofheat therein, a heating means in said space and means receivable in theapertures in said casing and receptacles to retain a solution containerat adjusted levels in said receptacles.

2. A heater for liquid containers comprising a casing and a cover,receptacles connected to said cover having open ends and disposed inspaced relationship in said casing to define a heat retaining chamber, aheater therein, said casing and receptacles having vertical rows ofapertures in register and means receivable in said apertures for holdinga container for liquids at predetermined levels in said receptacles.

3. A heater for liquids comprising a casing having a plurality ofreceptacles therein for receiving bottles of liquid, said casing andsaid receptacles each having spaced apertures in register, meansreceivable in said apertures for holding said bottles at adjusted levelsin said receptacles and means within the space defined by saidreceptacles for electrically heating the same.
